Abstract
The relationships among many abilities in disabled readers were investigated. Seventeen tests were given to 35 disabled readers with a mean age of 10.15, a mean IQ of 95.81 and a mean reading grade of 3.12. The tests were intercorrelated and factor analyzed. Four factors emerged including: reading, auditory memory, oral vocabulary and visual memory. The conclusions were: (a) the reading levels of disabled readers were not highly related to the levels of performance on the other three factors; and (b) the latter three factors were not highly associated with each other.Keywords
